Journey of the Infinite Wizard

Chapter 677: : Ying Long

In ancient times, there was the Suez Canal, but as the years changed, the waterways of the Suez Canal were gradually filled with sand. Since then, the Suez Canal has officially disappeared from people's sight. It was not until modern times that this far-reaching canal was opened in the hands of the French. So far the European countries reached the east without bypassing the Cape of Good Hope, but from the Mediterranean to the East via the Suez Canal. During the period, I don’t know how much manpower and material resources were saved, but it was also because of the opening of the Suez Canal that accelerated the colonization of Asia by Western colonies.

However, in this savage medieval era, the Suez Canal is naturally invisible.

On this day, the Egyptians under the rule of the Fatimid dynasty, the big cannibals were busy with their livelihoods as usual. The prosperous Port Said in later generations has no shadow at all. Egypt's world-famous port is now Alexandria. Maritime merchants from various countries go to Egypt to do business, and Alexandria is the place they must go.

Today, a large-scale fleet of ships sails straight from the Mediterranean to Egypt, and the flags hung on the ships make patterns that even ignorant people recognize. That is the flag representing the Chinese people. At the center of the mast, a flag representing the royal family is hung. At the bow and stern, the national flag and navy flag are flying. At the very center of this huge fleet is a huge ship. Now this giant ship is fundamentally different from the situation back then, with masts erected on it and white sails hung on it. It was slowly moving forward at a slow speed.

As it gradually approached the homeland of the Fatimid dynasty, the huge naval fleet began to accelerate, and densely armed soldiers stood on the deck. They silently looked at the land ahead, and finally stopped near the sea as the fleet accelerated. A heavily armed soldier jumped off the boat one after another, splashed big waves, stepped on the sea sand with his feet, strode forward against the seawater that was almost waist-length. It didn't take long for a large number of densely packed troops to be assembled on the shore.

"What are you doing?" Standing at the bow of the Ark, Lu Duan couldn't help feeling a little strange as he watched the densely packed army of no less than 10,000 elite troops land.

The Tang general escorted with him smiled and said, "Don't worry about Mr. Lu, we have another important reason besides escorting you this time."

"Oh?"

The general smiled and said, "It is to completely seize this gateway to the Red Sea and put it in our hands." Lu Duan naturally didn't understand, he asked doubtfully, "Why is this?" He looked at the land ahead. , "This place is uninhabited, it is a barren land, and its value is not as good as your country's land. I don't know why your country has to risk military disasters and fight for the territory of other countries?"

The general said: "Mr. Lu does not know the specific reason. My Majesty is determined to seize this place. The purpose is to build a canal. By opening the Red Sea channel, our merchant ships will be able to directly enter the Red Sea from the Mediterranean Sea, and then into the ocean, crossing the border. The strait of the country reaches your country’s territory to conduct direct trade with your country."

After Lu Duan heard this, he was shocked, and then realized that once the canal is opened, the Tang people will control huge trade profits. Moreover, this canal will also be a vital transportation artery. However, in this way, countries outside the region will also be able to directly reach Middle-earth. This worry was immediately discarded by Lu Duan. He believed that although there are many countries outside the region, there is still no country that can expedition beyond the territory across thousands of miles of sea. Moreover, he was not worried about Da Song's military affairs. Although he lacked horses, he was facing the north. Once in the south, it will be a world on foot. Once the northern nomads dismount. The Central Plains Dynasty beat them every minute.

However, Lu Duan also realized that once the canal is opened, although it can grasp the enviable trade profits. However, here will also be a gunpowder keg, and various disputes will inevitably surround this canal in the future.

"Once the canal is opened, its impact will be far-reaching, but at the same time this canal will also become the target of conquests by the nations. Don't you worry, once the canal is opened, will the nations compete with each other?"

"Hahaha." The general laughed loudly after hearing this.

Lu Duan frowned, "Why is the general laughing?"

"Mr. Lu, haven't you ever heard of our country's guardian beast after you have been in our country for so long?"

"This is nonsense, how can you take it seriously?" Lu Duan naturally disdains to talk about this. When he thinks about it, the so-called protector of the country is nothing more than some rare beasts. What can it be used for?

The general naturally did not argue with him, and smiled without answering, and immediately Lu Duan felt the giant boat move slightly under his feet. I felt very strange, because he had never felt any bumps in his journey. The sea is no more calm than stagnant water, and the sea is flowing all the time. The undulating waves, one high and one low, the boats are constantly undulating with the sea. People who are not familiar with water will naturally not stand the bumps of this road.

However, Lu Duan didn't feel any bumps on this huge boat. People on it were as if they were on the ground. This was the most comfortable moment since he crossed the tens of thousands of miles of sea to embark on Tang.

But now, this huge boat, which is as steady as the land, is swaying. This made Lu Duan very curious, and at the same time a little panic, "Could it be that the ship's body is in water!"

Just as he was thinking about it, he was attracted by another change on the sea. I only saw that the undulating sea surface suddenly surged with big waves and blisters, just when he watched attentively, not knowing the reason. The water splashes and bubbles that continued to gush out were flying in all directions with the sudden explosion of the sea. Unprepared, Lu Duan was shocked. At this moment, a melodious dragon roar sounded. Lu Duan looked at him and opened his mouth in shock.

What did he see? An extremely large dragon head rises from the bottom of the sea, blood-red eyes, sharp dragon horns extending towards the back of the head and the beard beside the mouth, shaking off endless waves. After that, the dragon suddenly jumped out of the seabed. The huge slender body, like a snake, kept coming out of the seabed, and then there was a pair of huge wings-like things.

And as this huge dragon rushed out of the sea, with the melodious sound of the dragon's roar, the whistling of fleshy wings, the wings that cover the sky and the dragon's body winding and flying in the sky, Lu End completely lost his soul. He was dazzled and looked at the dragon flying in the sky. At this moment, he saw that the huge dragon head seemed to have appeared in a phantom, and two dragon heads appeared again on the left and right sides of the dragon head!

"Ying... Yinglong!"

This three-headed dragon is constantly flying in the sky ~www.NovelMTL.com~ with the sound of dragons. The wings covered with feathers like the sky and the sun are like the dragon with wings recorded in the Shanhaijing. Almost similar, that is Ying Long. The only difference from Yinglong is that it has three heads. Otherwise, the dragon head, body and claws are almost identical.

"I never thought that a certain overseas party not only saw such a rare country in the world, but also had the chance to see Yinglong's figure, and Lu Duan died without regret!" He was dazzled and looked at the three heads in the sky in shock. "Ying Long" at this moment, his mood is hard to describe in any language. This time his mission was not only complete, but also perfect. As a result, he recorded a book of You Tang Yaolue containing all aspects of Tang people's deeds for the kings and ministers of the Song Dynasty. Then, he brought 60,000 tall and majestic horses to the Song Dynasty, no matter which one it was, it was enough to make him promoted to the ranks, glorious ancestors and ancestors.

And now, after seeing the "Ying Long" who helped Xuanyuan Huangdi break Chiyou in those years, Lu Duan feels that being a human being can do what he is, it is already worth it. .
